My mom was verbally abusive and borderline physically abusive. I lived under her roof as an adult and she stayed very authoritative over me. Yet I never hated her. She was who she was...she had good qualities as well. She's been dead many years now and I think back fondly of growing up with her. It actually seems like the good old days to me.
I would try to patch things up with your mom while you can. No matter what my mom said or did to me she knew I loved her and I'm glad she did.

@LyricalOne Because I was abused by her and I couldn't shake it off. I'm confused by her sudden change of behavior.

@Endlesstime89 Forgiving her isn’t saying what she did was right. It’s freeing yourself from the control she has over you so you can lead a happier life. And deal with her behavior as it comes. You’ll be in a stronger position to do that when you’re no longer being held hostage.

Keep the thought in your mind that your Mom loves you and wants the VERY BEST for you. You may not like the ways she uses to steer you in the directions she sees that are best for you, but you need to trust in her decisions (maybe not her methods) and turn the other cheek..

@SW-User True, you are right.
